/my·ee·go/noun.1. The self, especially as distinct from the world and other selves.
The way I see it.
I'm William Johnson — photographer, filmmaker, and the person behind MAIIGO.
I live in a tiny Oklahoma town just outside of Lawton. There isn't even a grocery store here, and honestly, I love that. Life moves a little slower. There's room to create, and an open view of Oklahoma sunsets that never really gets old.
Moments over poses.
A wedding is one of the rare times nearly everyone you love is under one roof. And while the portraits matter, I'm just as interested in everything happening around them.
The nervousness before the ceremony. Your dad watching from across the room. Your friends being ridiculous. The people you love simply being themselves.
I'll guide you when you need it and disappear into the room when you don't.
I want you to experience your wedding, not spend the day performing for my camera.
Pretty is only part of it.
You're already dressed beautifully. The flowers are there. The venue is ready. The pretty part is easy.
I'm looking for what makes it yours.
My work combines the character of film and vintage lenses with modern technology, but I'm not interested in forcing every wedding into the same aesthetic. I work with the light, people, movement, and atmosphere that are actually there.
The longer I do this.
The older I get, the more I understand what it actually means to freeze a moment in time — and how much more those frames come to mean years down the road, once the day is far behind you and the people in it have changed.
I've contemplated hanging it up more than once. But every year I keep going, I understand the why a little better. And the more I understand it, the more it feels like walking away would mean leaving my best work on the table.
Because years from now, I don't just want you to remember what your wedding looked like.
I want you to remember what it felt like. From the emotions to down to the weather.
— William
What moves me
Episodes of moments from weddings that were pivotal in affirming why I do what I do.
Collections are built around your day, not the other way around. I'll share full pricing after we've had a chance to talk and I'm sure I'm the right fit.
